A few analog photos of cars
I shot a roll of film for the first time since…2018, I think. I went to a car show a couple weeks ago and took photos with my Diana Mini 35mm camera. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

I’ve read a lot about the IndieWeb in the last month. Here are links and notes for reference.
IndieWeb talk – An excellent overview of what IndieWeb means in non-technical terms
Indiewebifying a WordPress Site – A rundown of how to add IndieWeb functionality to a WordPress site
Tumblr + IndieWeb – Cool ideas here about interoperability between Tumblr as a social media platform and stuff published on the rest of the internet. And the Tumblr team is working on steps to make Tumblr more compatible with IndieWeb.

I’ve been using HEY for two weeks, and I love how much less of a hassle email is now. The teams at Basecamp and HEY did a fantastic job. It’s well worth paying for re-imagined email.
Here are a few of my favorite features in HEY.
The Screener: New senders don’t get through to you unless you let them.
Unread emails stay at the top, by design: No more mixing read and unread emails. Yes, you can set up your inbox like this in some email clients. By HEY does it by default, not as a workaround.
The Feed: I LOVE the Feed. Such a smart way to read newsletters and marketing emails. It feels a lot like an RSS reader. I can browse it whenever, and it’s not a big deal if I miss something.
Set Aside and Reply Later for emails you want to get back to: In Gmail, I would star emails that I wanted to get back to later. But stars alone didn’t distinguish an email I needed to respond to vs. an email I was keeping for reference. HEY’s workflow accounts for both of these instances.
Focus mode for emails in Reply Later: I love seeing the email and my response side by side! No more scrolling up and down email chains. It would be great to have Focus mode for individual emails, too. 🙂
Keyboard shortcuts directly on the menus: I can actually learn them this way! I like using keyboard shortcuts, but I usually forget about them because they’re tucked away on a help page.
Notifications for when you get emails from specific senders: I don’t need notifications for every new email, but it’s nice to turn on notifications for certain people when needed.
Notifications are off by default: HEY didn’t even ask me if I wanted to turn on push notifications, and that’s awesome. There aren’t badges or red numbers for unread emails. Nothing in the app or in my browser demands I check in.
I posted a new playlist on 8tracks called Summer Oldies. It’s old (or old-sounding) songs that make me think of summer.
Here’s the full tracklist:
I posted a new playlist to 8tracks called The Oncoming Storm. It’s the kind of music I imagine the Doctor would listen to before defending Earth against the latest threat.
